Thanks everyone! I've switched him to 1/2 the i.d. and 1/2 the hairball control by SD. I'm keeping the i.d. because it's what's slowing him down. I will probably try the cup or rock idea...anything to get him to quite inhaling the food! For the poster who asked about the barf...I can't...

Hmmm...I NEVER would have thought about large rocks/marbles in the bowl...although that sounds like a good idea. I can try the smaller portions in the evening. Hopefully this does it! Thanks so much!!

Hi everyone - you all were so helpful with my Stewie and the ringworm - that I had to post again...this time for Dwight. A little background...dwight is about a year old - he's a long haired cat (haven't had a long haired before). He eats like a maniac!!! When we first got him - he would...

That's *exactly* what he's doing (with the sometimes bloody mucus stuff too)! Thanks for your comments...I hope it tapers off soon. He seems very healthy - but the shelter he came from was HORRIBLY dirty! He also brought home ring worm with him...but seemed to be a carrier only. Anyway -...

This sounds strange - I know! But I have a kitten (8 mths old) who sometimes sneezes and actually shoots huge dry boogers out of his nose! When I say huge - I mean dime sized...and he's a kitten. He's otherwise healthy. I've asked the vet - but to no avail. He's been on 2 medicines to help...

Thanks everyone for your replies! Lamisil is a prescription and it is very expensive. It cost me $238 for a 1 month supply. The two vets I went to were very hesitant giving an oral for Ringworm because they both said it was very harsh to cats. However, the second vet looked up Lamisil and...

I've gotten a lot of suggestions from all of you and have gone to two different vets and FINALLY my baby seems to be getting better. In case nobody remembers, my Stewie has a bad case of ringworm...really bad! It started with a quarter size spot on his head and has since spread down the...

Thanks!! I'm on Lamisil now...crossing my fingers the ringworm gets better, stops spreading and all subsequent side effects start getting better...i'd be happy with things just not getting worse! thanks for the encouragement!

Thanks everyone for your advice. I went to a new vet this morning for a second opinion. Now he has an upper respiratory infection, possible secondary skin infection and possible staff infection...along with the ringworm. We're not sure if the ringworm is still active - so he took a new sample...

After my mini-rave of CS...I came home tonight to give Stewie a bath only to notice it's getting worse. I want to scream. He's got two big spots (one the size of a quarter and one the size of two quarters lined up). Those spots are not growing...but it seems to be spreading everywhere in...

Wow!! I didn't mean to start a war here! Thanks everyone for your input. Here's my update...I decided to get the CS. So far so good. No new spots! I'm also bathing both cats once a day (oh joy!) with betadyne and cat shampoo (from the vet). Once they are dry I add the CS topically. The...

I've done some research on this...my cat has ringworm and it's driving me batty! I only see good reports on Colloidal Silver. What kind of problems can it cause in a cat? What if the wounds are open wounds - does that cause more problems? I do not want to hurt my cat - but locking him up in...

My guys are now confined to the bathroom as of last night. I took out the rugs and the shower curtain. I plan on keeping them there until they are under control and I'm able to deep clean the house. I put a clean sheet in there. This morning I folded the sheet in half so they have a "fresh"...

I didn't know that. Well - hopefully it will help a little. I'm paranoid this stuff is everywhere in my house and I have a 4200 sq ft house...yikes!! I should note that my cat has two big spots, one medium spot and several tiny spots (pin size). I have one dime size spot on my arm. So we're...

My Stewie had problems when I first got him - I switched him to Sensitive Stomach and he's all good now Good luck!!
